Yes. As the plates of the FUNDA Filter collect cake, the pressure required to force the liquid through the screens increases. The pressure across all plates naturally aims for equilibrium. If the cake were to build faster on one plate, flow would increase to the others thus depositing more solids there until the pressure is equal across all of the plates thus self-leveling the cake on all plates.

The remaining slurry, or heel, is drained from the FUNDA filter or pumped through the heel pipe to a nozzle on the top of the FUNDA filter leaving no liquid in the filter (Often referred as heel filtration). The slurry is directed by a distribution plate inside the head of the FUNDA filter that allows the slurry to gently cascade over the filter plates until all of the heel has been filtered.
